Not sure how I feel about this idea.

Not any worse than the rest of reality TV.

Why is it acceptable to exploit the emotionally handicapped but not the physically handicapped?

God I love it when someone "goes for the jugular" of an issue like that, right off the bat, pow!

Sure, but what does that leave us to talk about? The weather?

Funny you should mention that.

We were driving past the State Theater the other day and noticed that Blue Oyster Cult is playing there soon. They always seem to be playing that venue. Anyway, I was wondering what their shows are like now, in the post-SNL cowbell era. Do you think they sort of spoof themselves with a cowbell during Don't Fear the Reaper? Or do you think they play it straight? I'm almost tempted to buy a ticket just to see how they play that song now.

...but it is why I don't watch tv...
I haven't watched any network shows in more than 5 years. There are a few programs on cable that I try to catch;
Deadliest Catch (when it was on/new), Dirty Jobs (occasionally), What Not To Wear and Little People, Big World.
Everything else is movies. Or the computer. Damn the internet.

I can't watch that Idol show, the one guy is just too rude for me to stand.

"The main aim of the programme is to remove prejudice about these people, to create more acceptance and respect and, of course, to find the love of their lives."
